Sucralfate Overview

I have been using daflon 500 mg since March 25th 4 tablets twice a daily to cure heomorrgiuds and I am feeling much better now but it seems I should continue using this medicin for complete cure. I am wondering for how long I should use it. Thanks for your reply ## Hello, I am working on Sucralfate. Anyone with similar interest? ## Daflon is actually a supplement given to help with such conditions, it is not, however, a medication.

What has your doctor suggested? As to the Sucralfate, we do have a page with some information here: Are there any questions? ## medicine DAFLON 500 mg, is what for? and what ...

what is teva 2210 used for1 ReplyRSS
does this product have aluminum in it. does it interact with floxitine and also can it be takin at the same time or 2 hours later to work well. does it work good alone for acid reflex? does it work for the better if you have a hihanial hunea? how differant is it fro ranidine twicw a day? ## Hello, Cheryl! How are you? Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 1gram of Sucralfate, so no aluminum and I didn't find any interactions listed between them in the NIH databases. It's a gastric protective agent, which means it coats your gastro areas, to help prevent further damage and to allow any current injuries to heal. Ranitidine is an antacid, so it works by helping to neutralize some of you stomach acid, but it doesn't coat such areas, so it may not always help to he...

what is sucralfate1 ReplyRSS
I'm currently prescribed 4 sucralfates per day, and 2 omeprazole. The instructions for sucralfate state do not take any other medications within 2 hours of taking this. This makes the windows for taking this extremely small. Is it okay to take both sucralfate and omeprazole together if I ever fall behind? ## Hello, John! How are you? No, it is best to follow the instructions provided with the medication and not take it with anything else. The Omeprazole may affect the absorption of the Sucralfate. Sucralfate is used for the short-term treatment of certain intestinal ulcers. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness and constipation. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Its typical sid...

Sucralfate Suspension4 RepliesRSS
my mother takes Sucralfate suspension, she is unable to swollow it in tablet form due to an oesophogeal stricture, is there another similar preparation? ## Well, if she has been prescribed a suspension, that should be a liquid formulation. If her pharmacy has given her a tablet, then they have given her the wrong thing. How was the prescription written? Is her doctor aware of her swallowing difficulties? ## Is SucralFate derived from Sucralose? Does it have the components of Sucralose? I had a severe allergic reaction to it and it seems, now, I have hives if I get a tiny bit of sucralose in my system since I had the allergic reaction to Sucralfate. Is there any relation to it?
